S4 vs S5?

Which is better in your book the S4 or S5?The reason im asking is because im holding off on buying an FD until I can buy it and afford all the problems the car may have plus S4s and S5s are cheaper and I think it would just be best to start of with a bit cheaper and slower of a car so I dont kill myself and a FD.We dont have many FDs here anyway so why take the risk.Thanks for your help and info people.

s5 has more power, s4 has more available (stock) parts circulating and for cheaper than the s5. The s5 would be the way i'd go, higher compression rotors and a higher flow intake manfiold, circular taillights, and an overall better appearance. GTUs would be the model i would choose, but if you want luxury the GXL would be the way to go. I hope i've been some assistance.

Yes, the GTUs is basically a Turbo II with a Naturally Aspirated motor.

O 16581 72452 5- He doesn't care for N/a's

1,000,000,000,000Rotorrocket- We told you S4 or S5 you can never say one is better than the other one. One has more power bu weighs more the other is more nimble yet has less power to get around. Just get one damnit!

Yeha those ECU's are also twice as expensive as S4's and I would go stand alone if I had a TII so who cares.

I warned you guys about him invading the 2nd gen forum.

On topic: The s5 has many of the bugs worked out that were present in s4s.

and to answer your question (if only you knew how to use the search button, you could have already found out)

S4= lighter, tighter suspension, easier to get parts, vehicle speed sensing power steering or manual steering, lame 4 lug wheels on base and luxury coupe models, better emissions.

S5= cheaper build quality and short cuts, a lot more power on turbo models (but barely anymore power on N/A models), heavier, suspension is more isolated from the road, less accurate engine speed sensing steering on all but turbo models, lame mouse belts on USA models, worse emissions. Some people think it looks cosmeticly better as well (for whatever reason).

3RotorRocket- Look pal you need a reality check. I have already tried helping you on nopistons and here and you keep being a flammer and rude. This is why you get your little reputation. You don't know when to quit. You said if I was cool with you you would cool it aswell. You haven't. I have not said anything about you or attacked you personally since I PM'ed you on nopistons. If you want help stop your crap and listen. You already got warned by two moderators: IceMark & Rx7_Ragtop


S4 is the way to go.
